I am an active member of The Florida Bar, having successfully passed the Florida Bar Examination in September 2023. My legal career spans over seven years, beginning with extensive experience as a law clerk, where I supported attorneys and developed a strong foundation in client-focused legal work. I focus my own practice on business and estate planning matters, including entity formation, corporate governance and compliance, commercial transactions, and long-term planning for individuals, families, and business owners. My estate planning practice focuses on helping individuals and families protect their assets, plan for incapacity, and ensure their wishes are carried out with clarity and confidence. I regularly prepare wills, trusts, powers of attorney, health care directives, and related planning documents, and I take a personalized, practical approach to each plan—ensuring it reflects the client’s goals, family dynamics, and long-term needs while remaining fully compliant with Florida law.

I have been licensed to practice law in Florida since 1999. My work has centered on a wide range of family‑court matters, including divorce, child support, custody, paternity cases, and prenuptial agreements.

In addition to family law, I have extensive experience in consumer bankruptcy law, such as Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and advising clients on issues such as wage garnishments, bank levies, foreclosure defense, repossessions, judgment enforcement, credit card lawsuits, and debt defense tactics. I regularly guide individuals on qualifying for bankruptcy, means‑testing, exemption planning, and strategies to protect assets in divorce and bankruptcy. I developed the Family Law and Bankruptcy Law courses for a law school, and I am the author of Consumer Bankruptcy Law for paralegals and legal professionals, published by Routledge. I currently teach business law, economics of law, and bankruptcy in both English and Spanish for an international university.

Business Contracts Legal Questions and Answers

Business Contracts

Roofing Contract

Florida

Asked on Jun 19, 2024

Can a roofing contractor change the terms of a contract after it has been signed?

I recently hired a roofing contractor to replace the roof on my home. We signed a contract that clearly outlined the scope of work, materials to be used, and the total cost. However, a few days before the project is scheduled to start, the contractor informed me that they need to make changes to the contract, including increasing the price due to unforeseen circumstances. I'm concerned about this sudden change and wondering if the contractor has the legal right to modify the terms of the contract after it has already been signed.

Diane D.

Answered Jul 16, 2024

A roofing contractor can only change the terms of a contract if both parties agree to the changes in writing.

Production Services Agreement

Florida

Asked on Jun 18, 2025

Can a production company terminate a Production Services Agreement if the client fails to make timely payments?

I recently entered into a Production Services Agreement with a production company to produce a film. The agreement states that the client (me) is responsible for making timely payments for the services provided. However, due to unforeseen financial difficulties, I am unable to make the payments as agreed upon. I am concerned that the production company may terminate the agreement and I want to understand if they have the right to do so under these circumstances.

Christopher N.

Answered Jun 20, 2025

The short answer is: likley yes. The contract controls the relationship. I suspect the contract provides provisions that cover precisely this issue. Given your circumstances, a non legal solution is to talk to the other party and explain the concerns, and see if they are willing to negotiate another agreement so they get the payment and you get the services -- if on another schedule. I also recommend you consult with an attorney that specialized in contracs in your industry before things go south. Good luck.

LLC Operating Agreement

Florida

Asked on Apr 20, 2023

What should be included in my LLC operating agreement?

I recently formed an LLC with two other partners and we are in the process of finalizing our operating agreement. I am looking for advice on what should be included in the agreement in order to ensure the legal and financial protection of all partners involved. I understand the importance of having a comprehensive agreement in place, and would like to ensure that all of our interests are properly represented.

Fabian G.

Answered May 26, 2023

Hello, My name is Fabian Garcia and I am a Florida-licensed attorney. What follows is a brief overview of certain important considerations when drafting an Operating Agreement: There are several items that need to be considered when drafting an Operating Agreement. First, you will need to determine whether your company will be manager-managed or member-managed. This is important because it will lay the foundation as to which individuals/entities will have the ability to control the company. Proper definitions should be used throughout the entire Operating Agreement to make sure that there are no ambiguities. Capital contributions are generally attached as an exhibit to the Operating Agreement, and describe the amounts that each member has contributed. Note that capital contributions can also be in the form of sweat equity. You will also want to make sure and address whether additional capital contributions will be required. Another item that must be touched on the Operating Agreement is membership. How will new members be admitted? Will a vote be required? Note that typically, members are not liable for the company's obligations by merely being members. There should be language addressing that as well. You will also want to make sure that there is a mechanism as to how members may dissociate from the company and whether the remaining members will have any buy-out rights. Next, the Operating Agreement should clearly address how profits and losses will be allocated. This goes hand in hand with how distributions will be made to the members, if any. Typically, if it is a manager-managed company, the manager will determine when the distributions must be made. All of the items which need to be voted on, along with the required voting percentages, need to be included in the Operating Agreement. The Operating Agreement should address whether the members will be able to transfer their membership interests in the company. Some third-parties may be considered permitted transferees. Additionally, the Operating Agreement should generally state that it will indemnify the members in the event of a lawsuit, under certain circumstances. Lastly, the Operating Agreement should always have a dispute resolution mechanism, indicating how disputes are to be handled. I routinely assist business owners by drafting Operating Agreements, along with other complex legal documents. Please let me know if I can ever be of assistance. Thank you.

Joint Venture Agreement

Florida

Asked on Mar 21, 2023

How to split debt in a joint venture?

I am currently in a joint venture with another company to pursue a business opportunity. As part of our venture, we have incurred debt that we need to repay. However, I am unsure of how to fairly split the debt between the two companies, especially if one company has contributed more resources or expertise to the venture than the other. Therefore, I would like to seek the advice of a lawyer to better understand the legal and financial considerations involved in splitting debt in a joint venture.

Donya G.

Answered Mar 28, 2023

This can be done by agreement of the parties. Typically it can be done in the same way profits are split or depending on how much the parties are contributing to the JV. If you need assistance with the JV agreement, I can help. You can find me on the contracts counsel website to engage my services. All the best Donya Gordon

Loan Agreement

Florida

Asked on Jun 8, 2024

Can a lender increase the interest rate on a loan after the loan agreement has been signed?

I recently signed a loan agreement with a lender for a personal loan. The agreement clearly states the interest rate that I will be charged for the duration of the loan. However, I have recently received a notification from the lender stating that they are increasing the interest rate due to changes in the market. I am confused and concerned about whether this is legal, as I believe the terms of the loan agreement should be binding. I would like to know if the lender has the right to increase the interest rate after the loan agreement has been signed.

Diane D.

Answered Jul 16, 2024

It depends on your policy. Interest rates for personal loans are either fixed or variable. The fixed rate remains constant throughout the loan. However, variable rates may be increased or decreased, based on market changes.
